After proper care of books, and the use of an ordinary book, and the use of a simple reference book, the next natural step is to the use of the public library. The talk on the public library obviously includes some description of the library's purpose and resources both for use and amusement, a very general description of the arrangement of the books, possibly some description of the card catalog--personally I am somewhat skeptical as to the utility of the card catalog for grade pupils--and finally, possibly an explanation of the encyclopedia.英文原著 · 《Library Work with Children》
And to any one who loves worthy expression there is a sense of degradation in the use of fine literary powers for the description of purely transient local events.

Sand went at once to Kotzebue's house: it was about ten o'clock; he was told that the councillor went to walk for an hour or two every morning in the park of Mannheim. Sand inquired about the path in which he generally walked, and about the clothes he wore, for never having seen him he could only recognise him by the description. Kotzebue chanced to take another path. Sand walked about the park for an hour, but seeing no one who corresponded to the description given him, went back to the house.英文原著 · 《Karl Ludwig Sand》
